• Way too many ways to wait on a child process with a timeout

  Not so much about timeouts, but related in that it is based around managing children processes: The lineage of tools descending from daemontools for service management is worth exploring: daemontools: http://cr.yp.to/daemontools.html runit: https://smarden.org/runit/ s6: https://skarnet.org/software/s6/ dinit: https://davmac.org/projects/dinit/. - Source: Hacker News / 6 months ago

• S6 – skarnet's small supervision suite

  I personally am a fan of runit https://smarden.org/runit/ But s6 is excellent as well. - Source: Hacker News / 8 months ago

• OpenRC is a dependency-based init system for Unix-like systems

  How does it compare to Runit[[0] used by Void Linux? [0]http://smarden.org/runit/. - Source: Hacker News / almost 2 years ago

• SystemD vs Runit. Just a suggestion, not fight.

  Still, I can try to give you a rundown of Runit. Essentially, it's an init system that uses init scripts, but it has a bit more structure to improve on the shortcomings of sysvinit. Much like systemd, it also does service management, although in a much less involved way. Like with sysvinit, the task of logging is left to a separate process, though it has its own logging daemon, if you wish to use it (as logging... Source: about 2 years ago

• What manages systemd?

  PID 1 is special. It's the init. Instead of System V init, you can use OpenRC, runit, systemd, s6, or others. Source: over 3 years ago

• Deploying a Simple Go API with Supervisor and Nginx

  You might wonder why we use Supervisor instead of alternatives like Systemd, PM2, or containerized solutions like Docker. Here’s a quick comparison:. - Source: dev.to / about 1 month ago

• Show HN: Interactive systemd (a better way to work with systemd units)

  Idk, when systemd became the main thing I hated it too. But mostly because it was different and I didn't know how to use it. But then I learned and you know what? I agreed. This took awhile though and I had to see the problems they are solving. Otherwise it looks really bloaty and confusing. Like why have things like nspawn? Why use systemd jobs instead of using cron? Why use systemd-homed instead of useradd? Well... - Source: Hacker News / 3 months ago

• Strong Performance with EC2, Lambda, and the Momento SDK for Rust

  Here's my take at this point. If you require blazing speed, the Momento SDK for Rust handles topic subscriptions like a champion. It's easy to code with. Easy to set up. And I get an amazing performance. In cases where I need to update a leaderboard, perhaps deal with real-time chats, or work with financial data that needs to be updated as it happens, this would 100% be the way I'd go. There is no substitute... - Source: dev.to / 10 months ago

• Daily Journal note injected into Joplin at the start of the day

  To that end, I created a script called journal.sh, and then created a systemd unit on my Linux machine that runs this using systemd timers (like cron but infinitely more powerful and flexible). Source: over 1 year ago

• Deploying a secured Node.js Application on AWS EC2 Instance from scratch (Detailed Guide)

  You want your application to be available on the internet whenever it is accessed on any authorized device, from any authorized location. To achieve this, you can create a service to manage your node app. This service will be managed in Systemd to reliably ensure that your application is always running smoothly (i.e. starting, stopping, restarting, monitoring and occasionally fixing issues to keep the application... - Source: dev.to / over 1 year ago
